A beautiful evening for fireworks in Sitka. (KCAW photo/Caitlin Woolsey)


A perfect calm in the Sitka Channel Tuesday evening (7-3-12) gave fireworks-watchers a double-treat: starbursts mirrored in the still water. The $10,000 display (sponsored by Petro Marine) also launched on schedule at 11:30 PM, breaking a two-year streak of lengthy weather delays. Returning college student Caitlin Woolsey captured this image from a boat in the harbor.
